I preface this by the fact I’m 60 and I need someone with basic computer skills to help me. My job requires that I’m in the field all day. I need some to work 10-15 hours a week categorizing and being persistent chasing potential leads that I receive. Can work remote and checking with me a couple of times a week. $15 hour cash. Maybe a student? Don’t know but thought I’d check here

Any recs appreciated

You'll have a tough time at $15/hr in today's world.

Having said that, my son just graduated HS and is in a holding pattern for a couple of months before the Navy starts its next nuke school cohort. That uncertainty has held him up on getting a summer job.

He'd be remote to you, but if you know anything about what it takes to qualify for nuke school, sounds like he could do what you want easily. PM if interested.

Why did they not send him to boot and then have him hold in Groton or A School ?

Going through this process with him has been a graphic illustration of why they can't hit recruiting targets. Recruiters that don't seem to care and lose paperwork. Having to wait on official school transcripts because he graduated (had he committed prior to graduation, the unofficial ones would have done). Needing a medical waiver for an ingrown hair - no, I'm not kidding.

It's just been one thing after another. The sole bit of good news about the delays is that the bonus for completing nuke school went from $38k to $50k during this time. The Marines and Army have been crawling over each other to get him to join, but he's decided its nuke school or nothing (well, college, not literally nothing).

Edit: Oh yeah, I forgot, they even lost his ASVAB score! How is that even possible? He retook it last Monday at MEPS, scored IIRC one point lower, 93 vs 94. Nuke required is 92-96 IIRC.

He'll only get what his contract says and may not see that for years IME

We had plenty of Nuclear Waste (dropouts, failures) in our ST school as it required similar ASVAB scores and had a similar timeline for school

good luck to him either way, its an odd rate but its a cool one

Thanks!

With all the delays, he hasn't signed a contract yet, so yep, he'll be looking at that carefully!

Walmart gets shite on because of the typical Walmart Shopper and a lot of the store associates really dont give AF, but from a salaried role or above that such as corporate, they have really great benefits. Matching 100% to 6% 401k, health insurance is stupid cheap, their PTO for salaried employees is really nice up to 5 weeks a year depending on years of employment.

As a guy who has been keeping his options open for the last year or so, you may be surprised with how little other companies are offering. 25% match on 401k only to 4% was my most recent offer from a rather large employer with 3k employees.

Babysitting is a lot easier than checking to see if a business gets an email with a potential client and sorting it though. I mean I doubt OP is getting 20 emails an hour or anything.
